Hi Pete, There are still two (long shot) possible ways that you can revert to the older version of the Bento app.
1) When you update any app you will find the old version in the Trash Can. If you have not yet emptied the trash you can revert from this copy. 2) If like some other MUGgers you have more than one portable device — say an iPhone and an iPad — and have not yet updated the app on both you can revert to the older version from the not yet updated device. If either of the above apply, let me know and I will send detailed instructions.
